(the two Egypts; red soil), the usual name of
Egypt in the
Old Testament the dual of Mazor, which is less frequently employed. Mizraim first occurs in the account of the Hamites in (Genesis 10:1)... In the use of the name Mizraim for
Egypt there can be no doubt that the dual indicates the two regions, upper and lower
Egypt, into which the country has always been divided by nature as well as by its inhabitants.
